2021 Kia Telluride

Description

With its efficient touches and smart stop-start technology, this 2021 Kia Telluride LX brings a practical side to a large three-row wagon body without feeling stripped down. The 3.8L V6 pairs with an 8-speed automatic, Active ECO mode, and Idle Stop & Go to help it run with a more thoughtful approach to fuel use, while the all-wheel-drive system adds confidence when roads turn wet or rough. It also earns LEV3-ULEV70 and Tier 3 Bin 70 emissions ratings, reinforcing its cleaner-running focus for a gas-powered SUV of this size. Inside, the biggest everyday convenience story is the tech. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both built in, and they work through an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth streaming, USB ports, voice control, and steering-wheel audio buttons.

Smart Key with push-button start, keyless entry, remote start, and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go add ease to daily driving. Lane Following Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance, and Safe Exit Assist round out a strong safety and driver-assist package. The Telluride LX also gives families real flexibility with seating for up to eight, 60/40-folding second- and third-row seats, rear climate controls, and plenty of storage spots throughout the cabin. Heated side mirrors, LED daytime running lights, projector beam headlights, a rearview camera with parking guidance, and parking sensors make low-speed maneuvering less stressful. With its metallic gray finish, 18-inch silver aluminum wheels, and clean wagon profile, this Telluride blends useful design, solid capability, and well-placed tech in a way that feels easy to live with.
